Hi Bob, I am a Realtor so I have access to the MLS.

We used Anderson Business Advisors to set everything up properly and have not regretted the couple thousand we spent, as well as the monthly fee for them to keep up all our legal and give us unlimited access to attorneys.

Again, you can't beat the location inside the huge European market.Of course, that's what's available to you but you need to either know what you're doing or have access to the necessary people and resources, in case that isn't obvious.Hope this helps!

You'll need a realtor for the lease up, you'll need a background check service, I would place a Blue I Box so only realtor can access with a rental prequalified tenant. 

Maybe find a broker who has access to different companies.

That will make it easier for renting the long-term rental for sure because you can advertise the base rent, which is comparable to market rent, and then state that utilities are included for the utility fee.

U can now advertise it as such and charge a premium i would think 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

A primary home is not an investment, as it's not producing you any return other than appreciation which you have access to only selling or taking out loan.

Selling them together at a 9% cap rate would likely be successful as 8 units are unusual and the price point ($775,000) makes them accessible and unique for someone with a smaller amount who is getting started in bigger buildings What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
